Gabe Ruediger promised another UFC fight

Gabe Ruediger, who failed to make weight and then flamed out of "The Ultimate Fighter 5" cast back in 2007, posted a six-fight win streak to earn his way back into the UFC.

But this past weekend as a replacement for injured Terry Etim, Ruediger suffered a one-sided beatdown and eventual submission loss to Joe Lauzon at UFC 118.

Although some fighters have been cut after one such lackluster performance, Ruediger apparently will be rewarded for taking the matchup on short notice. UFC matchmaker Joe Silva has promised him another fight on an upcoming card, though the lightweight fighter will have to heal from "four staples in my head and some bruising" that resulted from the UFC 118 fight.

"I spoke with Joe Silva from the UFC, and he told me I would have at least one more chance and next time I would have the proper time to prepare," he wrote. "For that I am happy, but I still cant believe how bad that fight was for me."

Where are you getting your stats?MMA.tv has him listed at 5-3Sherdog has him listed as 5-4MMA.tv doesn't have his loss tp Prater listed, so in this case, I think Sherdog is more accurate.

I honestly don't see him winning against anyone in the UFC at 155. Everyone keeps bringing up his 6 fight win streak, but let's look at the guys he beat:1. Max Son (0-1)2. Darren Crisp (7-6)3. Adam Lehman (8-11)4. Wander Braga (16-1)5. Dominique Robinson (5-4)6. Lenny Lovato (8-1)1 guy, his only fight was Gabe, 3 guys about 500 records, and 2 guys with good records that didn't really fight anybody anywhere near UFC caliber.It's still good that he beat these guys, but IMHO he needs to beat some guys that have been in the UFC already to show that he belongs. He's been completely manhandled everytime he's fought a guy that was UFC caliber.
